This website of the Original Church Corporation of "THE HOLY EASTERN
ORTHODOX CATHOLIC and APOSTOLIC CHURCH in NORTH AMERICA, INC." is protected by
our Registered and claimed Copyright's and Service Marks.

LEGAL NOTICE:

This is the original Logo of our Church and the Registered Service Mark of
this Church. It continues to be the service mark of this Church since we have
never ceased to exist. Our date of incorporation is Feb. 1, 1928 and we have
never ceased to exist to this date. Any use of this without our permission will
infringe our legal rights and service marks. It is not available for use by
anyone at will since we have had and continue to use this, our corporate name,
for many years.

A Trademark or Service Mark does not need to be Registered to be the legal
property of the owner who has used that mark for years. Registration does prove
prior use and if that owner is still using that name it is the property of that
owner. Use by others is then an infringement.

This Church was canonically established by the Russian Synod of
Bishops in North America (Moscow Patriarchate) on Feb. 2, 1927 and incorporated
on Feb. 1, 1928 by Archbishop Aftimios Ofiesh and others. Mariam Ofiesh sat on
our board of trustees until 1999.
